Catherine July 2024

“Beautiful house with a great view.”

Catherine was a fantastic host who offered suggestions for activities and was on hand when required. Good value for money. Perfect for our family holiday! The only improvement might be a hot tub (according to my eldest daughter!)

“We loved the cleanliness of the property and the log burner with its supply of logs.”

Plus it’s close proximity to the local pub that offered a great Sunday lunch in a warm friendly atmosphere. This was our second stay and we will most likely be back for a third visit.

“This property is fantastic and has everything you need,the owners leaving a welcome pack was very nice indeed.”

Itwas great sitting outside watching the bats with there low level flying. Just outside is a bus stop with direct links and good service. The local pub is also on the square. Overall will definitely be back again. Finally it was a pleasure to meet the owner.

- Steve, September 2023
Pam August 2023

“Wow, A beautiful house, so well equipped with high quality utensils and bedding.”

So much space. This meant the three generations could find a spot to read or chill-out if need be. Beautifully maintained. The welcome basket was very interesting giving us some insight to the local product Products. Very thoughtful and delicious. Lots to do for the boys, dad and I’m and grandparents. The coast or hills easily accessible.. The rear garden was a relaxing space and good for star gazing. We will come back.

“The cottage is one of the nicest we have stayed in having booked accommodation 2-3 times a year for the last twenty years.”

It was very clean, comfortable and very well-equipped. Everything was covered and the attention to detail was appreciated as was the super welcome box of Welsh goodies. I wish more property owners had the same high standards as this. I would recommend to everyone.

“Another fabulous stay at this beautiful house.”

Graham June 2021

“This converted barn is simply gorgeous.”

Well appointed, clean, spacious and well laid out. Having breakfast on the patio watching the sun rise over the countryside was the best start to the day that I can remember. Catherine (the host) was incredibly helpful and the welcome pack of Welsh goodies was an unexpected delight. There is no shortage of things to do and see locally and I only wish that we'd had more time. A really fabulous place for a holiday.

- Graham, June 2021
Andrea May 2021

“What an absolutely fabulous place Yr Hen Ty Coets is!”

The quality of this property is stunning. The location is excellent with unspoiled views to the rear of open countryside and a river. The owners live in the other half of the barn and they were very friendly and welcoming. There was a lovey hamper welcome pack waiting for us filled with Welsh goodies. I would highly recommend a stay here.

- Andrea, May 2021
Andrew May 2021

“Having visited the property before, I am pleased to say it again did not disappoint.”

The spacious barn development in its beautiful setting has maintained its high standards despite the difficulties of the pandemic. The host has provided a most welcoming holiday let. One to return to in the near future.

- Andrew, May 2021
Suzanne October 2020

“Been before and love this place.”

Welcome hamper was a lovely touch. I’m glad we got to come, as didn’t think we’d be able too with the covid situation. Hopefully we can come again next year.

- Suzanne, October 2020
Lynne September 2020

“Excellent holiday accommodation in a good location.”

The welcome pack was amazing. The best cottage we have ever rented through Sykes.

- Lynne, September 2020
Graham September 2020

“Like many people we decided to holiday in the UK this year and chose this cottage as it was a reasonable distance for all our family to meet.”

This is a property with a high standard of finish and appointments, in an excellent location to explore mid Wales. The lovely owners (Catherine and Rheinallt) live next door and left an excellent and delicious hamper full of locally produced goods as means of a welcome which was very much appreciated. The living areas are all comfortably appointed - living room with log burner seating seven -piano room -dining room seating seven -kitchen with fridge freezer and dishwasher - the bedrooms all have their own TV (beds are comfy too!). There is also a utility room with a washing machine and a fridge for beer - there is really nothing you need to take with you other than food! The enclosed patio area at the rear has a gas barbecue as well. There is a pub 50 mtrs across the road and a convenience store about 200 mtrs walk away in the village. Borth is about 5 miles away and Aberystwyth about 7 miles. Will definitely return in the future

- Graham, September 2020
Amanda August 2020

Stephanie February 2020

“Beautiful place, the barn was even nicer than the photo's.”

We had a lovely time despite being there during the worst weather of the year so far. Lots to do locally with a car and pub literally staggering distance away. I would definately return.

- Stephanie, February 2020
Anne-marie December 2019

“We spent the Christmas period in this wonderful property and had the most amazing time.”

The property is stunning and finished to a very high specification....exactly as in the photos....if not better! It was beautifully decorated for Christmas and the log fire ensured we had cosy nights in. When we did venture out to the local pub (the white lion) we were made to feel very welcome by the locals. We were left a welcome pack on arrival by the owners, full of Welsh produce, which was a wonderful surprise and very thoughtful. The owners of the property were very friendly and helpful both before and during our stay. This is definitely the best rental property we have ever stayed in and we will most certainly be returning.

- Anne-marie, December 2019
Janet October 2019

“Fabulous accommodation, extremely comfortable for our party of 6 adults.”

The welcome pack was a huge surprise, full of local luxuries and essentials which were greatly appreciated while we unpacked and got our bearings. Location was central for all the Mid Wales attractions, New Quay was our favourite. Catherine was a superb host and we hope to visit again soon

- Janet, October 2019
Denise October 2019

“Fabulous barn conversion done to an exceptionally high standard.”

We echo previous reviews, this is an amazing property. The high quality of the furniture is matched in the bedding and towels that are provided. Welcome pack was the most generous we have encountered. The Owners live in the adjoining property and greeted us on arrival. Very friendly and encouraged us to let them know if we had any questions/ issues. The property would benefit from some updated photos/description on the website. The drive has been beautifully resurfaced and no longer has raised ironwork that was mentioned in a previous review. The balcony off the master bedroom has been removed ! No chance to have breakfast al fresco whilst admiring the scenery from an elevated position. A washer/ dryer is mentioned on the website. There is a great washing machine but no dryer, only an airer. We had an 8 week old baby with us and she produced a LOT of washing. Fortunately the heated towel rails in the bathrooms saved the day. The underfloor heating is preset and locked so you cannot adjust it. Great selection of books, games and children's DVDs. This place is HUGE so plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen area is very well equipped but fairly compact in relation to the size of the property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay despite the not so great weather, the fabulous showers in the 2 en-suites were much appreciated, it's a shame the bathroom doesn't have one. The double width sink did prove a great place to bath the baby, she loved it !!

- Denise, October 2019

John June 2019

“The property is of the highest standard.”

There was so much to do in the area. The photograph seems to be taken from the back of the house, but the front is equally attractive.

- John, June 2019
Paul June 2019

“Lovely spacious cottage, well stocked with essentials and plenty of kitchen items e.”

G. pots, pans, crockery etc. Great patio area which enjoys great views with plenty of space for kids to play safely. Parking for 2 and possibly three cars. Two pubs across the green from front door, what’s not to like. Also great location to visit surrounding towns. Borth beach is 10 mins by car and well worth a visit. The Sands cafe in Borth is excellent, great food good service at reasonable prices. We had lunch there and it was great.

- Paul, June 2019

Spacious, well-equiped and perfectly positioned for access to superb walking country. Bus stop across the Green for a regular service to Aberystwyth. Two pubs within 30 yards ( one actually a bistro ). Very generous welcome pack. Couldn't fault it.

- John, April 2019

“I have used Sykes for many holidays but this was the best, the cottage was better than the advert and pictures.”

very spacious and finished to a very high standard. the location was perfect, 7 miles from Aberystwyth and many places to walk locally. we are already looking to book this place again.

- Bryan, December 2018
Carole December 2018

“Although the weather was terrible that did not affect our stay mostly thanks to the wonderful accommodation and the great local pub next door.”

The accommodation was amazing. Every detail had been thought of. Even the photos do not do it justice. A lovely place to stay with family and friends. This is the best place we have stayed in. We will return when the weather is better to explore the countryside. There are lots of walks in the surrounding area that we would like to try. Also Aberystwyth and Machynlleth are not far. The pub has a great landlady and the food is good and plentiful, not forgetting over 100 different gins to try.

- Carole, December 2018
Michael October 2018

The house was superb, spacious and homely. The welcome pack was a nice touch and we would highly recomend.

- Gill, July 2018
Fadzai July 2018

“The home was lovely and clean .”

It was clear that a lot of effort had gone into ensuring comfort and convenience by the attention to detail. The home was furnished to a high standard with all the equipment and facilities to make you feel at home. The welcome pack with local produce was a particularly nice touch. Catherine was on hand to ensure our stay was comfortable. While we were there, the TV in the master bedroom broke down. Catherine was there within the hour to try to sort it and when she couldn’t, immediately got people in to replace it that same morning. We wanted to get some salt marsh lamb while there and we asked Catherine where we could source it. Not only did she call around the local butcheries on that same day but even the next day until she found one for us. She was more than helpful. A great holiday all round, highly recommend it! The views st the back of the house are lovely and you can hear the stream running at the back!

- Fadzai, July 2018

Furnished to a high standard. Would highly recommend and would stay again.

- Deborah, March 2018
Janet January 2018

“Cottage was lovely, very clean and as described.”

There were just a few minor things that would have helped - lack of soap or shower gel, only 1 tea towel, limited washing up liquid or dishwasher tablets, microwave too remote to kitchen, lack of condiments, concern re raised ironwork on drive. Only minor issues, we were very pleased overall.

- Janet, January 2018
Sharon October 2017

“Beautiful barn conversion which has been renovated to an extremely high standard.”

We were two families staying last weekend, and really felt at home there. Thanks to Catherine for providing us with a lovely Welsh produce hamper on arrival which was a lovely touch. Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking at it.
